Altered Bottles and Notebooks


Been busy creating more altered bottles and other things. I've done a couple of craft shows so I have some experience in that now and will try some others in the future.
  
 Here's a Christmas bottle made with a tag I had from last year which I cut to decorate this bottle. The other has an air dry clay piece I stamped and painted.


  
This one has metal buttons and a piece of an old doily and the composition book below was covered in paper, ribbon and silk flower.



 Are you more than ever more inspired to create since Pinterest came on the scene? I sure am. I wish I had more time to devote to my crafts. I'm still trying to learn to draw, sew more, and want to start making soldered jewelry too and my darn full time job is in the way, arghhh!

Enjoy the rest of the week and I hope you find the time to create,

New Work and a Spring Giveaway

Here are some mini composition books where I altered the covers.  Below those is a another notebook and altered compact discs wall hangings.




This altered CD has a bottle cap which I had never used before.  The background has a glue crackle technique as shown here. I'm happy with how it turned out.

This altered CD started with a fabric pattern glued down in a haphazard way, therefore the crunched look.  Love the look.




CSN Stores has lots of options for shopping from toys to kids bedding, to items for the chef, to home decor.  Here are some awesome and unique items I'm looking at:
CSN Stores contacted me to sponsor a giveaway from one of their stores right here on my blog with a $60 shopping spree at AllModern.com
